Backup Chain Transform #9

First of all, love the tool, I appreciate your time a lot!

I would just like to understand how 'Backup Chain Transform' would affect the storage requirements, as from my understanding, it doesn't need to keep the initial Full Backup as with using Synthetic Full's alone.

PS, the manual run option really helped me understand Veeam behaviour better than any document! - Thanks again!

This can not be configured in RPS and not really planning to implement it. It is more a legacy approach and IMHO a better way to reduce the amount of data kept is to use forever incremental mode or just ReFS integration.
